Referring1 now. more particularly to the drawings, wherein like ports are illustrated by like reference numerals throughout the several views, the numeral l() indicates on ordinary ironing; board which is preferably squared at yits rear end und tapers to zi, rounded 'front end portion. A sieeve board 1l is adopted to be detsehobly secured fto the upper foce oi the ironingl boord :indy the ineens for Adetticllobly securing` this sieeve boord to the ironing` board consists ot :i dependingerin which is bent at its lower extremity into a hoolr portion "which is adopted to engage asteple 13 placed epproximately et the center of the ironing boord and et the rear thereof. is secured to the under tace et the sleeve boord to provide metros for supporting the hpeeitienton ot' Letters Ltotent.

lililhen ironing boards oi this character fire in use they generally are provided with n elotli which wili protect the articles which ore to be ironed troni the dirt and weer ot the boord und to provide ineens whereby this cloth muy be held upon the tace of the ironing;- boord l@ provide e traine which is adopted to ext-enel around the edges of the ironing" bonrd'snd which will engage the cloth end elninp the saine tigl'itly around the edge ot the board. This :traine consists of tivo side nienibers 15 which are adapted to elongthe sides of the board und are `ioined or connected it their :forward ends in tiny suitable niunner by n flexible inetzil strop i6 which is curved to contorni to the forward or curved end of the ironing-boord. Each of the side members 'l5 is provided with n plete 1G having; n slot 16h adopted to engage set screws or pins 17 sind i8 on opposite sides ot the ironing-board, wherehy the traine may be detnchubiy secured to the seid pins or set screws. lin order to permit the treme to neconunodute cloth or eoverings ot ditierent thicknesses and be drown tightly around the board, the set screw orv I Potent-,eri l L iiiiteti Appioation tried. itpril 3. this, Serial nio, @$8,376.

pin 18 is removable und ii plurality ot open! ings 19 ore provided in one side edge of the boord to removably receive the pin 18. It

plurality of lugs 2O nre formed on the under tiene of the board. best shown in Fin'. ioi' the drawings, which lugs provide suitable rests or'meuns oit support for the side niembers 15. rihese lues 2O are instenedot one end to the under side oli the ironingl'board ond the opposite ends extend beyond the board to support the clamping' trarne for the cloth.

To provide n suitable ineens oi? support for this board when in use l provide on the under tiene sind rear extremity oi' the board dependingl lugs 2l wi1ieli`.lifive journnled therein en :faille 22. this eine homing1 secured thereto n diagonally extending; support The lower end of ,this support is beveled es et Qfl so that the sinne may rest upon the gli:

floor. To provide means to maintain this support in proper position when unfolded I provide a second support 25. This second support is also secured at one end toan axle 2G which is journaled in lugs formed on the under side of the board 10. 4vThis support' 25 is of less length than -the before mentioned support and haspivoted thereto a 'pair of supporting legs 28.. To prevent these legs from spreading I pivotally mount ,in the lower extremity of this member 25 arms 29 whichhave off-set portions formed at the outer extremities thereof which are adapted to slide within elongated slots 30 formed Within the members 28. Each of these slots is provided at the upper extr'emity with A-a recess in which the ex- -tremities of the arms 29 may rest when the legs are in outward positidn.

It apparent from Fig. 4 of the drawings` that the diagonally extending support 28 is connected to the axle 22 at one side of the center of the'ironing board and that the support 25 is pivotally secured adjacent the opposite side of the center of the ironing board.

This lwill permit the tWosupporting memvbers to be folded upon the bottom'of the ,board'when the lower supporting members 28 are in a folded position, as shown in 4 of the drawings, and to provide means to4 prevent the supporting members from movving out of proper position when unfolded I `provide an extending lug Blwhich is secured to the member 25 against which bears the upper side of the supporting member 23. Extending from the side of the member 23 is a lug 32. These lugs 31 and 32 Will prevent the supporting members from spreading from their proper relative position in an outward longitudinal direction when the device is unfolded and to prevent the same from moving accidentally Iin an opposite directionI provide upon the supporting member 23 a hook 33 'vvhichis adapted to engage a staple provided uponhone face of the supporting member 25 as shown.

. As one means to prevent movement of the' support member 23, and supporting member 25, a bracket 34 maybe employed and fastened to the under facev of the board l0, as shown. This bracket is provided with side lugs 35 distanced from each other, both lugs being formed adjacent the ends of the bracket and extending downwardly therefrom. When folded, as 'seen in Fig.. 5, the supportv 23 and supporting member 25 are received by the bracket intermediate the lugs 35. Lateral movement of the support member 2 3 and supp'orting member 25 when thus folded, would be prevented, inasmuch as the folded members Wouldbe. held against such movement byv theirv abutment against the lugs 35.' A .f

It is obvious from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accom- -panying drawings, that I have constructed p 'an ironing board device which'will be cheap to manufacture, durable and efficient in use and which will perform all the necessary requirements of such a device and it is to bev further understood that minor details ofl construction may be resorted to that ,come

within the scope oflthe y, appended claims without sacriiicing` any of the features of this invention. l Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
